Here's What Stronger Together Looked Like in 2024

As we reflect on another year of service to our community, we're filled with gratitude for the countless ways your support has empowered Neighborhood House to be a hub of hope and positive change. The past year brought both challenges and triumphs, and we're excited to share highlights from our journey through our latest Impact Report.

Where Bright Futures Begin

In partnership with New Directions Early Head Start, our Early Learning Center served twenty-six families across three classrooms, providing comprehensive care for children and valuable support for their families. Our collaboration with the Christina School District continued through our Preschool Program, furthering our commitment to provide high-quality early childhood education to famillies in Southbridge.

Empowering the Next Generation

Our Youth Development Program thrived in 2024, with remarkable success metrics that tell an inspiring story. 95% of youth maintained grade-level achievement, 100% were promoted to the next grade, and our participants showed significant growth not just academically but in confidence and character development. From our afterschool programs to summer enrichment activities, we're empowering the next generation of leaders

Meeting Essential Needs

Our Family Services Program provided crucial support to those experiencing hunger, crisis, or financial instability, serving over 2,100 households across our Wilmington and Middletown locations. Thanks to your generosity, hundreds of families enjoyed holiday meals and received support through our Adopt A Family program.

Opening Doors to Housing Stability

Our Comprehensive Housing Counseling Program helped 20 families successfully purchase homes and saved another 20 families from foreclosure, preserving over $4.4 million worth of mortgages. These aren't just statistics — they represent dreams realized and futures secured for families in our community.

Writing Our Next Chapter Together

Your support makes this work possible, helping us create a community where everyone — no matter their starting point — can reach their full potential. As we approach our centennial in 2027, we invite you to celebrate the progress our neighbors are making and join us in writing the next chapter of hope and empowerment at Neighborhood House.
